WOKQ seemed to be at its best when they staged themselves as "Country
favorites...."  This enabled them to essentially play with the list, current
as well as core rotations and not have to realign their image (or their
audience).  WKLB was moved to the Andover signal (from 96.9 to 99.5) for a
reason, to capitalize on the Merr. Valley/So. NH WOKQ back yard.  WOKQ would
be better off staying the course and use their 20+ years with the format to
their advantage and keep their fence posts straight.
